Blaze Foley - Springtime In Uganda chords
Start Jamming...
[F#] Yiddi [C#] Amin should be hung by [F#] his nose In front of his [C#m] palace without any [F#] clothes
[C#] Tied up with barbed [B] wire and beat [F#] up with sticks
Relieved of his insides and filled up with bricks
He calls on his neighbors for three meals a day
He don't save the scraps, he [C#] just throws them away
[F#] [C#] Hangs them and shoots [B] them and tells [F#] God they died
He likes them toasted and pickled
Well, Uganda on Saturday night Yiddi Amin just [E] stepped out for a [F#] bite
The waitress, she asked [B] him, can I [F#] help you please?
Platter of elbows, a bowl full of knees He has got medals all over his chest
He didn't win them, he stole [C#] them, I [F#] guess Ears in his pockets [B] and eyes [F#] in his stew
Don't try to stop him, cause he might eat you
Chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp
Newspapers say he's got social disease He screams in the bathroom [C#] whenever he [F#] pees
His sons and his daughters [B] got [F#] syphilitic brains
They don't even plug in their electric
Poor kids
Yiddi Amin just got married again Instead of champagne [C#] they serve [F#] penicillin
[C#] Rings on his fingers [B] and [F#] sores on his toes His shankers go with him wherever he goes
His doggy has got syphilis too If you were his [C#] doggy he'd give it to you
[F#] The sheep's in the meadow, [B] the cow's [F#] in the corn
He eats their babies as soon as they're born
What an awful shithead
Yiddi Amin should be hung by his balls Cut into pieces [C#] and tacked to the [F#] walls
So all of his horses [B] and all [F#] of his men Could never put Yiddi together again
Could never put Yiddi together again
[B] Ah
[F#]
